made their case against obama directly to the american people in november last year and they lost again. not by a small margin, he won by 5 million votes. what was the main issue in that campaign? it was healthcare. the american people overwhelmingly reelected the president. one reason they did is because of healthcare. floor, rightthis over there, a colleague of ours, a senior senator from arizona, john mccain spoke of elegance about this law. a law he opposes. this is what he said, the people spoke. they spoke much to my dismay, but they spoke and reelected the president of the united states. that doesn't mean that we give up our efforts to try to replace and repeal obamacare, but elections have consequences. of the american people supported the president of the united states and renewed his stewardship of this country. uson't like it, but all of should respect the outcome of elections which reflect the will of the people. who said this again? who said this? who is this john mccain? fighter in war and in public service. man who held the mantle of the republican party's nomination to b

you would have to look back and just remember how high expectations here after president obama was elected. they are high because there is a general perception which i agree with, reforms which stalled for at least five years. there's a lot to be done. they are high because his leadership style is very appealing, very different. he speaks extemporaneously. he has said when people meet with him some of bureaucrats aren't to come in and just read talking points. that he has really spoken out against some of the abuses of power and some of the perks. he wants to do away with so many of the motorcade that disrupt traffic. you are not to have sumptuous entertaining. when i had lunch at the embassy here a couple of months ago to say goodbye to the ambassador, i came away a little bit hungry. instead of the standard 8, 9 courses, it was four courses and a soup. he said there would be no more hard liquor served when the military entertains. liquor company stock to drop to 10% the next day. there's not as many people in the vip waiting rooms and the casinos at macau. thingss done some symbolically.
